SUMMARY: Preparations for Tropical Storm Francine are underway in South Mississippi, particularly in Hancock County, which is vulnerable to flooding due to low-lying areas. Emergency Management Agency Director Brian Adam discussed the activation of sandbag locations and noted changes in distribution points due to facility unavailability. Concerns focus on potential water surges of 3 to 5 feet, leading to street flooding in areas like Shine Park and Heron Bay. Officials are monitoring updates from the National Weather Service and coordinating with local leadership to ensure residents are informed and prepared. Storm impacts are expected to intensify in the coming days.
